Uh oh, Samus has stopped the bleeding for a second...

Looks like Samus/Yoshi overlap to me, considering how poorly Yoshi is doing.

Wouldn't it look more like LFF from Yoshi if Yoshi was doing better...?

Good update for Samus. I'm hoping for a good match here.

Those votes are the whole reason Samus is a Noble Niner in the first place!

Heh, probably true :)


Even if Mega Man somehow pulls a miracle and wins this, he wouldn't beat Samus 1 on 1.

I agree.

To play Devil's Advocate (because Samus IS the devil), that's the sprite Mega Man uses in almost all of his original series, and is instantly recognizable to anyone who has played those games. Samus' Metroid sprite is from the original Metroid, a game that is nearly unplayable by today's standards.

I was going to say something similar. Mega's pic is just fine for him.

I can see where that applies for characters like Samus and Snake, who have detailed designs that need more detailed sprites/models to look cool with. Simpler designs like Mega Man and Mario, though, not so much.
transience | Posted 10/20/2007 9:24:43 PM | message detail
NES Mega Man is probably the best you'll get for him. there's a reason that most people think MM2/3 are the strongest Mega Man games.

This match is good because it's the first time all contest where we're seeing two real powerhouses fight it out.

Early on I kept thinking Yoshi/Scorpion would get the bracket vote, because I'm used to the lesser characters getting that. Had to remind myself that either Samus or Mega would be taking 2nd here.

That and Samus and Snake get a very negligible amount of strength from their NES games.

Mega Man series would double up Metroid in a match* book it

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

If Samus does anything, it will be during the morning, and if she doesn't do enough, Mega Man will come back with the afternoon/evening vote like he did vs Snoic.

Shouldn't Mega Man do better with the day vote? If he's winning now...

friendly reminder that Mega Man's early vote is his best time. last year, I argued that Mega Man had arguably the best first hour of any strong character with the possible exception of Crono. if this is close -- say, within 2-300 votes come morning -- Samus probably wins it with ease. looks like Mega Man may extend that a bit beyond though. but still, when the deep night hits, Mega Man *should* drop off a little bit. that's his style.

I'm surprised at how badly Scorpion is doing. With Yoshi being LFFed and with his pic advantage, Scorp has no excuse.

And the bleeding resumes. It's looking more and more like Samus will need a miracle to get out of this one. The question is...is that miracle the day vote...?

Very true, and I'd bet the first three Mega Man games could beat Metroid in a match as well.

If you want to compare Samus and Mega Man's day votes, you could always compare their matches against Snake... :(

People are thinking Mega man wins the day? I really don't think so. His best hope is that Yoshi hurts both of them, and that Samus' pic hurts her day vote. Normally, Samus wouldn't have trouble improving in the day against Mega Man.

Wait... those commercials with the fat kids pretending to have guns for arms are pretty old, actually. Maybe the day vote won't be so kind to him then. =/

Mega Man is a really balanced character. He doesn't really have trends, he just stays consistant or follows his opponent's trends.

Samus seems like a more day-centric character, but her sprite HAS to hurt her day vote with the impressionable kiddies.

I'm also surprised that Scorp is doing so bad. With Yoshi's jacked board vote though (even if it looked pathetic here) I could see Scorpion beating Yoshi.
